Another opportunity to recert. Your chances are running out
Gentlemen,
The AL-SDI has approved a 2012 USSF
Referee Re-Certification "catch-up class" to be hosted in Fort Payne,
Alabama. This will be the second 2012 Re-Cert class offered in NE
Alabama. The instructor will be Phil Elton. Seating in this conference
room is limited to twenty-five (25). An email to me confirming
an official's intent to attend this class will get them rostered for
the class in the order received. A "maximum" per attendee fee in the
amount of $10 will be assessed to cover the costs of conducting the
class. It
could be less with optimal attendance.

the Referees/ Assignors domiciled in your area of service. I understand
that this info will be posted on the AL-SRC web site www.alasoccerref.com/index.htm .

To become a certified referee, one must attend an United States Soccer Federation referee course.
Grade 9 Entry Level Clinics: The United States Soccer Federation Recreational Referee (Grade 9) Entry Level Course is for new referees age 15 and younger. We recommend that people age 16 and older with no previous soccer experience as a player, coach, team official, etc. begin as a Recreational Referee. The authorized assignment level for a Recreational Referee (Grade 9) is referee on recreational youth games U-14 and younger only and Assistant Referee on any game U-14 or below. The minimum age to become a Grade 9 referee in Alabama is age 12; however, under State law, the minimum age to referee is 14.
Grade 8 Entry Level Clinics: The United States Soccer Federation Referee (Grade 8) Entry Level Course is for new referees age 16 and older. We recommend that people age 16 and older with no previous soccer experience as a player, coach, team official, etc. begin as a Recreational Referee (Grade 9). The recommended assignment level for a Referee (Grade 8) is all youth games and assistant referee in comparable games.
